Features: This book first reviews the basic development of theories of social solidarity in social theory and proposes the argument that research on China's social change must go beyond typological analysis. It examines the specific process and substantive implications of China's social transformation by treating change as the norm in a social sense. Secondly, the book introduces a theoretical framework for studying organizational solidarity in China that differs from institutionalism, starting from the dimensions of cohesion and vulnerability of organizational solidarity. This framework holds innovative value in social statistical analysis. From the perspectives of social change and social solidarity, studying the "social process of organizational change" represents an important perspective in terms of theoretical thinking, practical concerns, and methodological design, marking a significant breakthrough in empirical research within the field of domestic sociology.

This approach holds innovative value in social statistical analysis.
